Alas, no. It still doesn't work for me. (Your link does.) Maybe
there's a fault in my version of MSXML - I upgraded from 3.2 (I
think) to 4.0 a few months ago, but this is the first time I've
noticed any problems.

I get the query from using http://www.perseus.tufts.edu/cgi-
bin/resolveform?lang=la. I've just noticed that if I choose an
exact match, rather using the default 'begin', it works fine.
